Listen "BONUS: Becoming high maintenance - The Body Stories 4 with Ali Shapiro"
Episode Synopsis
Content note: This episode includes discussions around intentional weight loss and diet culture, and therefore contains swearing.This episode is part of a podcast series: The Body Stories. I’m joined by my beloved friend and fellow coach, Ali Shapiro. Over the next year, Ali and I will have an occasional and ongoing conversation about the nuanced relationship with our bodies. These are tender conversations, and at times, I will be in the coaching client seat. Our hope is that listening in will spark your own exploration of your body story.- Recorded in August, in this episode, I'm about halfway to my goal and finding that this process is creating the most unexpected ripple effects (especially in my coaching business).We explore what it means to approach weight loss as an act of care - not punishment (and how both diet culture AND body positivity find fault with this approach). I share what's hard, what I'm learning, and how I'm interrupting old beliefs and patterns to create more vitality and nourishment.Resources for you:Meet Ali Shapiro.Body Stories 1 - Can you love yourself and still want to lose weight?Body Stories 2 - Under-nourished to moderately activeBody Stories 3 - Emotions, embodiment and protein popcorn
